With the end of the year quickly approaching, offices and companies must begin making room for the new year by gathering up 2011 files and boxing them up for storage. Although these files are only used for reference purposes, they still need to be organized to make sure that information can be found quickly.

Alliance Rubber Bands offer a way to keep information together, while avoiding the need to take up additional space. Use the Pale Crepe Gold Rubber Bands to wrap around a large set of files that have a similar topic, therefore keeping them in a permanent group.

The bands are made from the best and easiest stretch available. The high rubber content allows for them to have a long lifespan.

The 1 lb. box of rubber bands comes in an amber crepe color. Additionally, they can handle stretching to fit large quantities of paper since they are super stretchy and have the ability to expand without breaking.

Will be using Alliance Rubber Bands to organize your 2011 files?

Alliance Rubber Bands' stretchy, long lasting bands make it easy to help group documents together.

Legal documents need to stay organized too, and it is difficult to find a selection of index tabs to choose from that help to identify sections within the oversize binder. Kleer-fax has several options to pick from, including blank tabs that allow you to customize what each tab says.

Each laminated tab is 1/5” in size, which is consistent with Kleer-fax’s other pre-printed legal dividers, so they can be used simultaneously. The tabs are also un-punched so individuals can use them in a variety of ways regardless of the binding system.

Kleer-fax Legal Dividers, which are made from a minimum of 30% post-consumer waste, can help you organize large, legal size binders by separating each section of information and making it easier to reference information.

Tarifold has several unique organizational systems to select from that aim at storing information, while making it readily available to office staff. Desktop organizers can store up to 20 or more pockets, which makes for a large amount of information to be displayed.

In order to maintain the goal of keeping documents accessible, Tarifold has developed Clip-On Index Tabs that will label individual pages to allow for them to stand out even further and help to identify a particular section of information, such as “Emergency Contacts and Procedures”. The tabs attach to the document pocket by simply clipping them on to the edge of the pockets.

The index tabs can also be used to organize pages through the means of color-coding. Although the tabs themselves are clear in color, the blank inserts, which are used to customize the labels, come in an assortment of colored edges. This allows for each individual user to personalize their tabs to be specific to their needs.
